Kate Bush - Running up that hill - Synth lead on guitar?

Hi Fractal forum.

How would you go about creating that lead synth stab sound in “Running up that hill” in Axe FX-III? Any ideas?

 
I actually used to think it was Alan Murphy on guitar.
He was an 80's session ace that Kate partly discovered.
That part was the sort of thing he would add to a track and he's credited on the song. He was using the Step guitarsynth with Go West and Mike and the Mechanics around this time so he could have used that

Or I could be completely wrong and it's one of the keyboards they used

How you'd do it on the Fractal would be for someone like AdminMatt to answer
 
Saw him with The Firm a couple of times back in the 80s, and he played with Kenny Wayne Shepherd when they opened for Van Halen a few years ago. Fantastic bassist and one of my favorites. Love that fretless precision.

Alan Murphy, a brilliant guitarist who died too young.
Used to watch him in a band called SFX at the Cricketers Pub in Kennington Oval, London around 1981.
Tiny pub, up close and personal. https://alanmurphylive.com/
Inspired my guitar playing but I couldn't play like he did - liquid solos.

The end solo on the Perpendicular mix of SOS Is one of my favourite solos by any player in history
Al Murphy is definitely one of my all time favs
